4.1 Assembly
- Attach the handle to the main unit if it is not pre-assembled.

4.2 Water Connection
The pressure washer can draw water from a standard garden tap or a static water container.
- From a Garden Tap: Connect a standard 3/4 inch garden hose to the water inlet on the pressure washer. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
- From a Water Container: If a tap is unavailable, the unit can draw water from a container. Submerge the garden hose (3/4 inch) into the water container. Ensure the container is positioned higher than the pressure washer for optimal priming.
4.3 Power Connection
Plug the 20ft power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch on the unit is in the OFF position before plugging it in.
4.4 Attaching Nozzles and Accessories
The pressure washer uses 1/4" Quick Connect tips. To attach a nozzle, pull back the collar on the spray gun wand, insert the nozzle, and release the collar to lock it in place. Pull on the nozzle to ensure it is securely fastened.

5.3 Using Quick-Connect Nozzles
The unit includes four quick-connect nozzles, each designed for specific applications:
- 0° Red Nozzle: Delivers a concentrated, high-pressure stream for stubborn dirt, cracks, and hard surfaces. Use with caution.
- 15° Yellow Nozzle: Provides a focused, high-pressure spray for concrete, brick, and other hard surfaces.
- 25° Green Nozzle: Offers a medium-pressure, wider spray suitable for wood decks, fences, and general cleaning.
- 40° White Nozzle: Produces a wide, low-pressure spray ideal for delicate surfaces like windows, screens, and vehicles.
